RIM's New Mobile Voice System 5.0 Brings VoWi-Fi, UC to BlackBerry

MVS 5 also achieves enhanced integration with the PBX for fixed/mobile convergence.

"At the Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES) in Orlando this week, RIM announced some important enhancements for their BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (MVS). MVS 5.0 adds voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) capability and better integration with the PBX for fixed mobile convergence (FMC) and mobile UC in the BlackBerry world," writes telecom consultant Michael Finneran on UCStrategies.com.

"The clear message that comes through is that RIM is serious about enterprise mobile UC and they are providing a mobility solution that will work in parallel with the IP PBX and UC platforms," Finneran writes.
